Rap superstar Snoop Dogg has revealed plans to open a pop up burger bar at Celtic Park.
The US legend – who has been a fan of Celtic for over two decades –wants to personally serve up cheese and bacon beef burgers to fans at Parkhead.
In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mail, he said: 'There has always been the opinion that food at sports stadiums is never good but that ain't got to be the case.
'People know that Snoop is a cook and I would love to bring a pop up burger to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good.
'It's got to be Celtic Park man, I mean where else am I going to bring it.
'The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation. The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple cured bacon.
'The Celtic fans are gonna love it, and to make sure they are just right, Snoop is going to be serving them himself.'
The Drop It Like It's Hot star, 53, is a massive foodie and has appeared on cooking shows alongside kitchen legend Martha Stewart.
He has also published a cookbook called From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dogg's Kitchen.
He has also previously told how he wants to open a restaurant in Scotland with Rangers fan Gordon Ramsay – someone he reckons swears more than him.
Snoop – real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jnr – said: 'I have told him I want to open a restaurant with him and maybe it might even be in Glasgow.
'For real – we are always swapping cooking tips and I do mean swapping.
'It's not just one way traffic, I send him tips as well – he respects Snoop as chef.
'My boy Gordon has got a worse mouth than me but that's only because of his passion
However, Snoop – who played Glasgow in 2023 – says he would stop short at creating a signature burger for Celtic's rival Rangers.
He added: 'Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss!'

John Clark funeral mass revealed by Celtic as Lisbon Lion set for touching Parkhead send off
The former player, coach, assistant manager and kitman sadly passed away last week at the age of 84 Celtic legend John Clark will make a poignant final journey past Parkhead when he's laid to rest this Friday. The Lisbon Lion - who spent almost half a century at the club as player, coach, assistant manager and kitman - passed away last week at the age of 84. Clark, from Chapelhall, near Airdrie, was part of Jock Stein's side who became the first British team to win the European Cup, famously defeating Inter Milan in Portugal in 1967. Fans have been laying scarves and wreaths at Celtic Park over the last week as tributes continue to pour in for one of the club's greatest ever servants. And now, the Scottish champions have invited supporters to pay their last respects on Friday, when Clark's cortege will travel down the Celtic Way around 1.15pm. Clark's funeral mass will then be held at St Mary's, Calton, which will be live-streamed on Celtic's official YouTube channel. A club statement confirmed: "The Funeral Mass for Celtic legend, John Clark, will be held this Friday, July 4. "While the service will take place at St Mary's Church in the Calton at 12noon, we ask supporters to be mindful that space at the church is limited. "The Funeral Mass will, however, be broadcast live on the club's official YouTube channel, giving supporters everywhere the opportunity to join the club in remembering a true legend. "For those wishing to pay their respects, John's funeral cortege will travel down The Celtic Way at approximately 1.15pm, and fans are welcome to gather at Celtic Park to say a final farewell to one of the club's greatest ever servants. "John Clark was a Lisbon Lion, a cornerstone of our greatest ever team, and a dedicated servant to Celtic across seven decades. This Friday, we come together to honour his incredible legacy."

Dessers Rangers transfer exit addressed by AEK Athens boss
The Rangers striker has been linked with a move to Greece this summer, but no deal has been struck. Reports have suggested Dessers has agreed personal terms but no transfer fee has been reached between the clubs. According to reports, Rangers are keen to receive a £5m fee but AEK only want to shell out £4m to land Dessers ahead of the new season. Nikolic, though, appeared to cool speculation over an imminent move for Dessers as he insisted his side hjave no issues in the forward area. "No, because in attack we are good with Zini, Pierrot, Martial and even Eliasson," said the manager when asked about transfer signing delays. "We are working on the left-back, but we have time. Full-backs on the market are always a difficult matter. It is not a big issue, we are also looking for a player for another position." Read more: Speaking to Greek media, he added: 'We will have six new players for the next friendly. 'Our team is filling up and we will continue to work. 'We are happy that there are no injuries. 'It was a good game today and we ran well, which is important for this point in time we are in." Dessers previously said of his Rangers future: "I still have two years left on my contract with Rangers. It's a fantastic club, and I'm happy there. "When you score that number of goals, it's normal for other teams to show interest. I've seen the links with Olympiacos, but I don't know anything specific about that. "These kinds of rumours are normal, but for now, I'm staying focused and looking forward to enjoying my holiday in a few weeks."

Conor Coady says Rangers move would be ‘unbelievable' as Ibrox icon hails defender as ‘perfect fit'
He is already being tipped as a future Gers captain 'PRICELESS' Conor Coady says Rangers move would be 'unbelievable' as Ibrox icon hails defender as 'perfect fit' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CONOR COADY reckons it would be 'unbelievable' to sign for Rangers - and Ibrox icon Jermain Defoe is trying to help make it happen. The Leicester City defender has been linked with a summer switch to Glasgow as Russell Martin looks to beef up his backline as part of squad overhaul. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 4 Conor Coady is said to be 'keen' on a move to Rangers Credit: Getty 4 The Leicester defender is on Russell Martin's summer shopping list Credit: Getty 4 And former Rangers striker Jermain Defoe hopes his old club don't miss out Credit: Willie Vass Defoe took the chance to bend Coady's ear about a possible transfer as the pair shared TV punditry duties covering England under-21s' Euro triumph. And the former Spurs striker – who was part of Steven Gerrard's title-winning side in 2021 – revealed Coady is keen to move north if a deal can be struck. Defoe told the Daily Record: 'I spoke to Conor and we had a good conversation about Rangers. 'He knows how big the club is and I think he's the perfect fit for Rangers. 'I've obviously spoken to him and I just hope the deal gets done now. 'I told him how big Rangers are. I said: 'Trust me, Rangers are bigger than most Premier League clubs'. 'I told Conor that I wish I'd gone there five years before I did. 'Conor is keen on the move, 100 percent. 'Obviously, they have to sort out a few things with Leicester and I'm not sure what is going on with that. 'But honestly, his eyes lit up. Frank Lampard corrects 'all over the place' Conor Coady live on TV during Euro 2024 coverage 'He said to me: 'J, if I get the chance to play for a club like that, it would be unbelievable'. 'And the great thing is, he's still only 32. It's not like he's 35. 'He can go there, sign a four-year contract and really make a difference to Rangers. 'He can lead them and drive that changing room. 'I don't want any other club to get him. Rangers can't miss out on signings like this. 'If we're looking to go in the right direction as a football club, take this opportunity. 'Because it's a guy who I know would love to be at Rangers. 'When you get players into the building who appreciate being there - even though he's been at top clubs and with England - it's priceless.' Defoe says he can see Coady as a future Rangers leader – and even told current skipper James Tavernier as much. 4 He added: 'Conor is a natural captain. 'But I even messaged Tav on Saturday night and told him - make sure the club gets this deal for Conor done. 'Because these are the types of people we need inside the club, especially in that position. 'And hopefully they can add a few more, like a midfielder and centre-forward, so they have that spine of the team. 'Conor can lead from the back and he'll be a massive signing for Rangers. 'He's a natural leader and you don't get many of them. Some players develop that over their career. 'But with someone like Conor, I think he's been like that from a young kid, it's natural. 'He was speaking to me about standards and driving the right things in the changing room. 'That's what Rangers is all about, standards. 'It's about how you live, what you do on and off the pitch, because you're representing a huge football club and you have to give the fans what they deserve.'
